Not sure why anyone would be worked up about the "expanded archival collection" banner on Matrix Revolutions. LLL has made it very clear in the past what it means. The "Expanded Archival Collection" title means that it's a Warner Bros expansion. It has nothing to do with the quality of the tapes for any given release. I believe they've said that the EAC title comes from the same legal/contractual business that keeps them from releasing PREMIERE Warner Bros albums, such as Batman and Robin.
As for the elements, rather than compare the title with "archival" albums from all over the spectrum of labels, why not look at LLL's specific list of EAC albums?
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (Expanded Archival Collection)
Mars Attacks! (Expanded Archival Collection)
The Fugitive (Expanded Archival Collection)
Eraser (Expanded Archival Collection)
Batman (Expanded Archival Collection)
Batman Returns (Expanded Archival Collection)
Forever Young (Expanded Archival Collection)
Batman Forever (Expanded Archival Collection)
Dave (Expanded Archival Collection)
I've never understood the complaints about the sound on Batman, personally, but there are five other albums on that list that I have, about which I have heard nothing but positive-to-glowing things re: the sound. If it hadn't been Warner's anniversary last year, all of those wonderful releases with the red banner on top, including The Matrix Reloaded, Rosewood, and Black Beauty, would have been "expanded archival" releases as well.

I want the new recording of the Great "BLUE MAX" not a rerererererererererererererere-lease with the same imperfections. I will not buy it, don't waste our time and money.
Your attitude stinks. You don't know any details about this new release but are already condemning it for having the same imperfections. And even if 'rebuilt from the ground up by Michael Mattesino and Neil Bulk' wasn't good enough for you, you still shouldn't begrudge the re-release because Intrada's issue sold out it's 2500 copies lightening quick (this was released before Intrada's new business model, and was probably one of the reasons for the change -- same goes for Flesh and Blood, which sold out 2000 copies in a day or so). Do you not want anyone else (some of whom weren't even in this game at the time of the last release) to be unable to get the original recording of this masterpiece?
And how was LLL to know that Mr. Fitzpatrick had plans to record the complete score for his new series? Up to this point the Goldsmith re recording series has ONLY done complete scores for which original tapes do not survive at all in any condition. So give LLL a break; they've given us so much (and probably have other more essential Goldsmith expansions coming later this year) and it sounds like Mr. Fitzpatrick is still planning on doing this in a couple years, at a time when its sales potential will be better
After all, he already invested in the full reconstruction...

You accuse LLL of wasting our time and money without even knowing the full details of this release or hearing sound clips. You yell at ME to grow up?
Who's name calling here? All I said was that your attitude stinks, which it does, and then went through a reasoned explanation of why (which was much less harshly worded). Where was the personal attack? If anything 'grow up!' with a zillion exclamation marks qualifies a bit more I should think.
As a fellow Goldsmith lover I want a new Blue Max recording too, you know. I just felt your post was much less respectful and considered towards LaLaLand than my post was towards you.

Yavar did not make personal insults nor did he call you any names; he's just calling it as he sees it. And I happen to agree with him too.
Don't want it? Don't buy it. Don't waste your energy complaining about a product you haven't seen yet.

Finally, we've found something to distract away from the other pissing and moaning about a label re-issuing a title.
Not what I'd hoped for, though.

I'll be hitting 30 soon and I already feel like a crotchety old man in some ways. Age will get us all in the end I suppose.
